Whether It Is Safe to Take

We examine the efficacy, dosage, side effects, and precautions regarding whether it is safe to take. This serves as the criteria for determining if you can start taking Gongjindan, Gyeongokgo, or restorative herbal medicine by verifying your current condition, medications, allergies, and purpose of visit. If you have been diagnosed with a new disease, had medications added or discontinued, or if your situation has changed, such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, or a scheduled surgery, the previous determination will not be applied. Even if you have not yet started taking the medicine, please provide the updated information to be re-evaluated based on your current status.

If you have been diagnosed with a new disease, if medications have been added or discontinued, or if your situation has changed, such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, or a scheduled surgery, since the initial consultation, the previous determination will not be applied. Even before starting intake, please report the changed information and have it re-evaluated based on your current status.

If new discomfort occurs during intake, do not assume it is simply a 'process of adjusting to the body' and continue taking it.

Page Summary

Whether it is safe to take: Rather than the fame of Gongjindan or Gyeongokgo, this is the clinical criterion used to determine if you can start taking them based on your current condition. We review the onset and changes of symptoms, pre-existing conditions, allergies, and your current medication list. If new discomfort occurs during intake, do not assume it is simply the 'process of the body adjusting' and continue taking it. Record the type of symptom, the time it started, and the amount taken, and respond by distinguishing between criteria for discontinuation and changes that require immediate emergency confirmation. Determining whether it is safe to take is not a one-time approval but must be re-evaluated according to changes in your condition.

Key Points

We review the onset and changes of symptoms, pre-existing conditions, allergies, and your current medication list.
  • Even prescriptions with fixed compositions, such as the Gongjindan and Gyeongokgo at Baekrokdam, are not automatically provided to everyone.
